 Program information
 -------------------
 akPNG.datatype is a PNG datatype, which is based on the latest
 stable PNG sources (zlib V1.2.3, libpng version 1.2.31).

 It does support 8 Bit color mapped files (colorspace expanded to
 8 bit per component always) and True color files (24/48 Bit, alpha
 channel supported in V43 mode, 48 Bit 16:16:16 cut down to 24 Bit 8:8:8).
 [ More detailed description can be found in akPNG.guide ]

 WARNING: if the pic-dt of your OS version does not support alpha channel
          handling, then always set STRIPALPHA=ON (no ARGB/RGBA)

 --------------------------------------------------------------------------

 You should use the included preferences program for best configuration.

 V45.95 (30.12.2008):  - removed MOS support, as there are more
                         frequent MOS updates now and as there still
                         is no fully featured new SDK for external
                         developers; makes semi-redundant datatype
                         development finally quite pointless
                       - copyright bump
